Light Up Surfboard

ABSTRACT

A wirelessly rechargeable light up LED battery operated configuration which is assembled into a base, being a surfboard or water apparatus, and being covered by waterproof materials, to create waterproof ability, and thus to be charged wirelessly.

1. Light Up Surfboard, the apparatus comprising:

-   -   (a) rechargeable Lithium ion battery    -   (b) means to be “waterproof” meaning LED lights, control board,        and all wires, switches, control modules contained within the        base.    -   (c) a base:    -   (d) Wireless charging receiver and emitter    -   (e) LED lighted strip (s)    -   (f) On/off waterproof power button    -   (g) circuit board, containing power indicator lights, multiple        power supply ports, and voltage reducer for battery charging

To be used to receive light up effects for water action sports such aswake surfing, ocean surfing and stand up paddleboarding specifically,but not to be restricted to only such models. To increase visualawareness and therefore safety while using action sport products atnight or in darkly lit environments.

Uses a rechargeable 3.7 volt lithium ion battery varying from 10,000 mAhto 500 mAh, connected to circuit board module, connected to on/off powerswitch, connected to wireless receiver for power input, connected to LEDlight strip(s), completely embedded into base for waterproof ability,and to be wirelessly recharged. Therefore exhibiting improvement uponlight up surfboards by providing waterproofing, use of rechargeablelithium ion batteries, and wireless charging to embed circuitry intobase without leaving opening for cords to contact circuitry module toallow for charging.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to rechargeable battery operated lightsand more particularly, but not exclusively, to a wireless rechargeablelight up surfboard(s) and charger(s) therefor.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Typically, surf boards are made with no lights or electronicswhatsoever, some have tried to incorporate lights onto the top of theboard with straps or clips, or onto the board with external batterypacks and not rechargeable, having to plug into the circuitry, anddecreasing waterproof ability and life of product.

The above-described lights and charger for light up surf boards suffersfrom the disadvantage that the charging ports, wiring, and battery packare not fully embedded nor is fully waterproof, shortening the life spanof the product and causing shorts in the power and circuitry. These alsohave the disadvantage that the attachment to a board is on the outsideand can fall off or need to be tightened regularly, adhesion dissipatesand lacks design in graphics for design aesthetics.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the present invention to overcome or substantiallyameliorate the above disadvantages.

There is disclosed herein a wireless rechargeable battery and chargerfor a light-up article needing to be waterproof, having a battery,switch, circuitry, LED lights, and wireless charging receiver fullyembedded into water apparatus, so that the configuration is completelywaterproof and integrated into the base.

There is further disclosed herein a combination of the above batterycharger and the article, and wherein the article is a light up surfboard including rechargeable batteries and wireless charger.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A preferred form of the present invention will now be described by wayof example with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:

FIG. 1 is a schematic parts section of the primary electric circuitemployed within the “light up surfboard”

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings there is schematically depicted awireless rechargeable light up surf board 6 with battery 1, circuitboard 2, on/off power switch 3, wireless charging receiver 4, and LEDlight strip (s) 5 embedded into base and covered with fiberglass, foam,plastic and/or silicone for complete waterproof ability. The surf board6 is an outer body 6 that receives the light up assembly circuitry 1-5terminating with a outer layer, typically, made up of waterproofmaterial such as fiberglass, foam, silicone, plastic, or others notlisted.

The on/off switch 3 is a waterproof switch embedded in the board, or ina soft spot in the fiberglass, sealants or silicone to push, or locatedon the outside of the surf board 6 to push. When the switch 3 is off nocurrent is released from the battery 1 lighting the LED light strip 5but still allowing the receiver 4 to charge the battery 1.

The LED light strip 5 can be multiple light strips or one singular lightstrip in many varieties, colors, lengths, etc. It can be incorporatedinto the overall design of the board and wires connected the light stripmay be long or short to reach desired destination of lights on the body6. Circuit board 2 has additional ports for additional power supply.

FIG. 1 represents basic arrangement of parts 1-6 listed not necessarilyhow it will be laid out inside of a base 6. Assembly is not concrete asto where parts are permanently installed due to design of eachboard/base 6 being unique, and configuration of LED light strip(s) 5.

The foregoing describes a number of embodiments of the presentinvention, and modifications, obvious to those skilled in the art, canbe made thereto without departing from the scope of the invention.

The claims defining the invention are as follows:
 1. the rechargeablelithium ion battery, 2.) circuit board, 3.) LED light strip(s), 4.)power switch, and 5.) wireless charging receiver fully embedded into abase, and 6.) using a wireless emitter to charge and maintain waterproofability. 7.) Use of inductive charging technology to fully embed intocircuit board and maintain superior waterproof ability
